Biography

Dr Peter Doll is a Biologist and Research Fellow in the College of Science and Engineering at James Cook University (JCU). His research centres on the biology and ecology of coral reef organisms, particularly echinoderms, fishes and corals. Peter teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses MB3190 & MB5190 (Coral Reef Ecology) and supervises PhD and Research Masters students at JCU and the Australian Institute of Marine Science.

Research

Research Interests

1. Effects of major disturbances (e.g., mass coral bleaching, COTS outbreaks) on reef ecosystems
2. Larval settlement and recruitment of marine invertebrates, particularly echinoderms
3. Impacts of climate/environmental change on marine organisms and ecosystems
4. Biology, ecology and management of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS)
